Thermal Conductivity

Thermal Conductivity Converter

Thermal conductivity measures how readily heat flows through a material

From Watt per Meter-Kelvin
To R-value per Inch

W/(m·K) → R/in

0.144228 R/in

Thermal conductivity measures how readily heat flows through a material. Watts per meter-kelvin are SI, BTU inch units appear in U.S. specifications, and R-value per inch represents insulation resistance for one inch of thickness.
